Patient Success Story!!
Stephen, an avid cyclist, came to our office for a consultation with Dr. Arginteanu in August 2019 for low back pain radiating down his extremities, primarily his left leg. While trying everything he could conservatively and receiving no relief, he came to us as a last hope. After review of his MRI and physical examination it was decided that a microdiscectomy for a herniated disc was the best choice for a man as active as Stephen. He underwent surgery 1 week later and recovered as flawlessly as we could ever expect.
On Friday, August 14th, almost one year to the date of his discectomy, he rode his bicycle 25 miles to Nyack, NY and back. The next day 8/15 he rode 54 miles to Stony Point, NY and back and on Saturday 9/12 he rode 85 miles. Since he has gotten back on his bike in March 2020 (approximately 7 months post op), he has ridden almost 1500 miles in preparation for his 100-mile ride on October 3rd for JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes.
Helping people like Stephen return to the activities they love is one of the most amazing benefits about what we do at Metropolitan Neurosurgery. It is even more rewarding when these patients do what they love and help organizations like the JDRF. We have shared his donation link below that includes more about this extraordinary man.

Happy Tuesday! The Staff at Metropolitan Neurosurgery hopes that everyone stays safe during this storm. Here is a little post to make you smile.
Sometimes you just need Dr. Seuss to break down the basics for you. Check out some pages from his book on the Human body. Here he easily explains our spine and how it works!

Brain shrinkage is the worst type of shrinkage.
If you do 2 and 1/2 hours of aerobic exercise per week,
you can reverse it.
That's less than 30 minutes a day...
Put down the phone and do it!
Our practice is looking forward to what 2021 will bring! We survived one of the craziest years ever and hope that we can continue to persevere in 2021 while providing the same high quality neurosurgical care as always. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our patients, past, present and future!
On our 1st day in the new office Dr. Syed saw this lovely patient, Sondra. She is just 4 weeks out from lumbar spine surgery and is feeling GREAT! She was beyond thankful for Dr. Syed giving her a pain free life back. We would also like to thank her for being a teacher and keeping our children educated throughout this pandemic! #Thankful #spinesurgery #lowback #neckpain
OPENING DAY!! Today Dr. Syed saw his first set of patients in our new satellite office in South Plainfield, NJ. We are so excited to have a permanent home in the Central Jersey area to provide patients with the highest quality neurosurgical care!

Excited to share Kevin Yao, MD describe how deep breathing and mediation can be an effective tool when dealing with stress, anxiety, pain and even recovery from surgery.
“Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.” -Thich Nhat Hanh
